An iceberg the size of the island of Manhattan has broken off the Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland. It's such a significant change, the results can be seen from space, according to The Christian Science Monitor.

Images from Sentinel 1-A, a European satellite, show the dramatic change to the ice. Scientists think the iceberg broke away from the glacier sometime between Aug. 14 and Aug. 16. When icebergs break away like this, it's known as a glacier calf. The Jakobshavn Glacier is responsible for the iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912, so glacier calves like this are not completely uncommon.

However, some believed this calving event may be the biggest ever on record. It's impossible to know for sure based on a series of still satellite images, according to Science World Report. Either way, this calving event has created a big change to the glacier. Even from outer space, the change to the ice is visible.

The Jakobshavn Glacier is the fastest-moving glacier in the world, and has long been the subject of scientific interest, according to UPI. Scientists have been studying this glacier - and the world's other glaciers - with more intensity in recent years. Some believe this event is related to climage change.
